Fics like Where Their Fire Is Not Quenched

Armageddon’s been averted. Hell and Heaven both know to leave them alone. They’ve toasted the world. It’s finally safe to share their feelings about each other, if they dare. Everything’s going to be fine, right? The thing about the fire is that it burns you, but you don’t burn. No, you remain what you were: whole, unmarked (except for the soot, the blackening of what were once radiant wings), able to feel every scorch and sear nerve-deep, until the pain blots itself out for a time, only to come back redoubled. The sulphur smell gags you, even if you don’t need to breathe. For a while it seems as if you’ll never be rid of it, even after you find your way to solid ground. That’s when you find the fire’s become part of you, that it can burn out of your body, no less painfully. You can send it flaring against the night sky in defiance, sign your name across this Fallen world, but it scalds you every time, sucks you back into that pit, where the worm dieth not and their fire is not quenched. You learn to bury it deep away inside you, to use it only when Hell demands it. It seals your acceptance of your order: Get up there and make some trouble.
